The gameplay has received mixed feedback, with some players finding it enjoyable while others criticize it for being monotonous and lacking depth. Issues such as limited character abilities and thematic inconsistencies in certain elements have also been noted, suggesting that the overall experience may not meet everyone's expectations.
“Game turns your computer into a heater, AI art in the pictures and they repeat, gameplay is monotonous and the protagonist can't carry two plates at one time. Nothing bad happens when you walk behind Roro while she makes TikToks (shouldn't she care?), and the mirror anomaly/jump scare makes no sense thematically.”
“But how about the gameplay?”
